TIOBE [The Importance of Being Earnest] Programming Community Index
for June 2012
Ruby (On Rails) makes the top 10 Significant
change
TIOBE Programming Community Index for June 2012 TIOBE Headline: Haskell is rapidly approaching the top 20 Next big new programming language - Haskell? [jumped from #35 to #25
this month] TIOBE trend graph of Haskell (starting in 2003) shows a constant rise, with
peaks in 2006, 2010 and now in 2012 Refer:
Notes: 1. The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages 2. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide,
courses and third party vendors 3. The popular search engines Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to
calculate the ratings
1. One of the “Big Three”: .NET, Java, and PHP
2. Rich Internet Applications (RIAs): JavaFx and Silverlight. Flash with its additional functionality in the form of Flex and AIR
3. Web development: JavaScript, CSS, and HTML
4. Web services: REST or SOAP? JSON or XML
5. Soft skills: to meet the increasing visibility of IT within and outside the enterprise. Developers with the requisite soft skills will be highly sought after in the job market
6. One dynamic and/or functional programming language: both Ruby and Python are becoming hot in some sectors, thanks to the Rails framework and Silverlight, respectively
7. Agile methodologies: developers with a proven track record of understanding and succeeding in Agile environments will be in increasingly high demand over the next few years
8. Domain knowledge: developers who understand the problem domain are increasingly being viewed as partners in the definition of projects
9. Development “hygiene”: organisations using bug tracking systems, version control, and other such tools are becoming more common. This is due to the development of new, integrated stacks, like the Microsoft Visual Studio Team System, and the explosion in availability of high quality, open source environments
10. Mobile development: developers who can design web applications to work on mobile devices, RIAs aimed at that market, and applications that run directly on the devices will be in demand

Employers struggle to fill jobs
Results of annual talent shortage survey (Manpower)
48 per cent of NZ employers experiencing difficulty filling job vacancies, up 11 percentage points from last year, and above;
Global average of 34 per cent
Asia-Pacific average of 45 per cent
New Zealand is now ranked eighth out of 41 countries for talent shortages
NZ skills gaps very similar to the rest of the world;
Engineers and skilled tradespeople are in demand
Roll out of the National Broadband Network increases difficulty of finding IT staff
Glut of Talented Unemployed Graduates
“First up if you are a graduate in IT or engineering you are most likely to get a job opportunity straight out of university,……….” (Kathy McCombe, Frog Recruitment, NZ Herald Wed May 30 2012)

Predicted Impact of Cloud Computing on Tech Roles
Tech industry expert predictions;
By 2020 the majority of organisations will rely on the cloud for more than half of their IT services
Cloud computing will have a dramatic impact on tech roles over the next decade where;
much of the virtualised infrastructure that cloud is built upon can be automated allowing for….
the number of staff needed to manage and provision individual pieces of IT infrastructure; e.g. networks, storage and servers, to be scaled back
By 2020 just 35 per cent of IT resources will be devoted to operating IT infrastructure (currently 70 per cent) (Gartner report New Skills for the New IT).
Source: ( Accessed June 2012)
Skills Gap
The shortage of skills in NZ reflects global demand, especially for engineers and skilled tradespeople
The number of ICT job adverts, long term, continues to trend upwards
The demand for IT certification and programmers/developers is strong; i.e. the need for people equipped with specialised IT skills is increasing
Forty per cent of the 58,000 unemployed NZers between the ages of 16 to 25 are recently qualified tertiary graduates – “companies (should) establish grad-programmes tailored to finding young individuals that have the right culture fit for the specific organisation.” (McCoombe, NZ Herald,
May 30 2012)
Gender Gap
Addressing the gender imbalance needs a determined effort, especially by women who already have (are in) technology roles (
